[quote=Anonymous]I was much more tolerant of my parents and my mother-in-laws extended visits before children, but since I end up doing a ton of extra work when any of them come to visit, I had to put my foot down after our children (twins) were born.  I now have a limit of one week (actually 8 days since they all travel frequently on senior discounts and travel on the cheapest fares on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so sometimes have to arrive on Tuesday and depart on Wednesday).  I can't really handle taking care of spouse, children and parents for longer than 8 days without becoming extremely short-tempered and frustrated.

I will gladly book them rooms at the hotel 3 blocks from our house for any stays beyond 8 days.  Really only applies to my MIL since when my parents come to visit they just tell me to book the plane tickets and they'll reimburse me when they see me.  I just have to email them the itinerary and confirmation code so they can get boarding passes.  So I control exactly how long my parents visit.[/quote]
